We divide 264863 by 48
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 264863.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 48

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 264 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 240 from 264, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 248 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 240 from 248, we get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 86 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 551.0
Subtract 48 from 86 to get 38.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 383 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 383 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5517.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 336 from 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 470 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5517.9
Deduct 432 from 470 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
380 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5517.97
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5517.979
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5517.9791
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5517.97916
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5517.979166
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 5517.979166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
